Um.. I don't know how to feel about this one. My first language was BASIC (or QBASIC, I don't remember honestly) since that's what they used to teach in school back in my days. I don't think I took anything of significance from it other than finding the discipline of computer science cool

It is practically impossible to teach good programming to students that have had a prior exposure to BASIC: as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration.

I don't know how many of you have ever met Dijkstra, but you probably know that arrogance in computer science is measured in nano-Dijkstras.

Imagining a ‘New India’ without Muslims
The participants of a conference on “New India” hosted in the US were mainly from the Hindu nationalist movements with no representation of the diversity that characterises the Indian polity. Muslim voices were completely absent. Is Washington ignoring hard…

Lord of Mysteries
In a Victorian world of steam, dreadnoughts, and occult horrors, Zhou Mingrui awakens as Klein Moretti. He walks a razor’s edge between light and darkness, entangled with warring Churches. This is the legend of unlimited potential…and unspeakable danger.

Thankfully, these folks are heroes. And please print this. What do heroes look like? Well, heroes put their tank on and they run into a fiery building and pull people out of it. That’s a hero. Heroes also sit in their cubicle for decades studying their systems, and knowing their systems front and back. And when there is no time to assess a situation and go and talk to people and ask, ‘What do you think?’ they know their system so well they come up with a plan on the fly. That is a hero.
